Document Summary
Physiology tries to understand how organisms function, and the underlying mechanism. Function of the proteins that interact to dictate how cells operate. How our bodies and other organisms bodies work. Understanding challenging environments and how physiology supports living in them. Aligned to evolutionary biology - differences between organisms and how they work. Compare and contrast states to understand how our bodies operate. Pathophysiology -contrast a normal individual to someone where something has gone wrong. Ie heart failure = reduction in oxygen supply to body tissues. Understand how oxygen is supplied to mitochondria by looking at animals that live with little oxygen in the air. Normal organisms to one that can hold their breath for over an hour. Smooth - dilation of blood vessels, peristalsis in gastro system. Important for underlying thought, memory, and our movements. All develop from the same primordial cell in development. Tissues - collection of myocytes or muscle cells together.
